Readme.1st Welcome to ChecTrak 1.0
>>> Program Description <<<
A few things to cover before you dive into the program.
This should be a authenticated ZIP format. If not, then its possible
that you have not received the original archive released. Some BBS
SysOps do change the archive format when the file is placed on their
BBS. To confirm that you have received all the files originally
packaged, a file list is shown below, generated by
PKUNZIP -v itrak10

System Requirements:
1. Hard Disk:
To get started we reccomend 1 meg of hard drive space. The program
with all docs etc occupies about 310k of disk space. Another 3-400k
of space is required when the program swaps to disk for running DOS
commands from within the program. Some files may be deleted, see
below. Also, as your data files grow, they will require more room.
The program can be run from a floppy, but is much more efficient
from a hard disk. This will be discussed further.

Readme.1st
2. Memory: ChecTrak 1.0 requires 400k of available memory to run
correctly. 500k or better is strongly advised, to get optimum use
from the program. A 640k system is strongly reccomended.
3. DOS Ver. ChecTrak 1.0 was originally designed with Dos 3.3, but
should run well with any 3.x version. Runs under 4.0 and 5.0 also.
I have never tested with versions earlier than 3.3, if you do run
it under earlier versions, or if you have trouble with earlier
versions, I'd like to know about it.
4. Video: Will run under MONO, CGA, EGA, VGA. ChecTrak 1.0 will
automatically recognize the video. If you're running mono, you're
gonna miss some of the great color benifits.
5. Printer: A printer is required for the Shareware version to obtain
printed reports. The registered version allows printing to a file,
for later printing.
6. Your Config.Sys file should containe the following:
Files=30
Buffers=20
These are the suggested minimum for database programs. If you are
using a Disk Cache you can lower the buffer statement.
Higher figures for files & buffers use more system memory, but
provide for better and faster program execution.
To Install:
Make a directory on your Hard drive ie: \CTRAK then place the
CTRAK10.ZIP in that directory and unpack it, PKUZIP CTRAK10
If you do not have a copy of PKUNZIP, you should be able to obtain
it from the BBS where you downloaded the file.
RRUN.EXE may be placed in another directory, that is in your
PATH statement. But CT.COM needs to reside in the same
directory as the program files.
Once the program has been unzipped, you can view or print the
documentation one of two ways.
From the DOS prompt: type VIEWDOC to read the manual in a scrolling
window. To print, enter either: copy CTRAK10.DOC prn - or -
type CTRAK10.DOC>prn
OR type CT to start ChecTrak 1.0, press F10 from the
Main Menu. There will be choices to view and print the Manual
from the Menu.
Files Required:
The following files ARE required to run ChecTrak 1.0.
These are sample entries for you to use with the Shareware
version. Use Newstart.Com before you enter in your records.
*.DAT The data files.
*.K## #= a digit; the index files
*.MEM The Memo files
RRUN.EXE The Runtime Engine: May be in another directory
thats listed in your PATH statement.
CTRAK10S.RUN The Program Module
CT.COM Runs the Program. Must be in Program Directory

Files For Deletion:
The following files can be deleted, we reccomend that you do not do
so right away. Please read the manual before you do delete them.
Readme.1st This file
CTRAK10.DOC Program Manual
CUSTOM.DOC How to get your program modified
REGISTER.FRM Form for registering ChecTrak
NEWSTART.COM This file should be run after you have familarized
youreself with the program, and tried some entries.
It will erase ALL supplied practice data/index &
Memo files, ChecTrak will generate new/empty files
on next startup, for your use.
VIEWDOC.COM Autoview of the Program Manual
PRNDOC.COM Prints Manual
RPTSAMPL.### Sample Reports for Registered Version
###= .001 - .004
Avextra.txt Authentic Zip file text.
Running From Floppy:
ChecTrak 1.0 can be run from a floppy, 360k will work. You will
need the files listed on the previous page under required files.
Two things to remember, the data files you create along with the
index files will reside on the same disk, in the same directory. As
the required program files use up almost 200k, this leaves little
room for data and index files. A 1.2 floppy would be best.
While ChecTrak 1.0 is very easy to use, it is strongly
reccomended that you read the manual, its only about 11 pages long,
and it will make learning the program even easier.
Thank You for Trying ChecTrak 1.0
